With these types of documents, it's obvious they are done after the fact for fluff and to justify design decisions that were made by people different than the ones who wrote the document.

The new logo itself looked like a vintage airliner logo. I kind of see the one in my mind's eye but cannot quite place it. Googled for it but couldn't find it.
